Notch Teases "Hyperplayer" Mode in 0x10c

Oh Notch, you crazy Swedish mastermind. What in the world is hyperplayer? You know, that word above multiplayer in the 0x10c title screen you just tweeted? Is it too insane to hope that it will somehow connect all of the Minecraft worlds into one universe that we can traverse via the space travel of 0x10c? Probably, but I'm going to believe it until the fedora'd one says otherwise.

Here's what we know about ox10c so far: It's set roughly a bajillion years in the future in a parallel universe, where players cruise around the galaxy in spaceships powered by generators and a primitive, 1980s-era computer. There will be space battles, mining, trading, and looting abandoned ships, and a big part of gameplay will be managing the ship's limited power supply by managing systems.

As for hyperplayer? No clue. What are you guys hoping for? Why does he need something above multiplayer? Seriously, what's up with that? Anyone?
